Hmmm... Cecil Pinto citing Wikipedia! It's like Babush Monserrate
planning to join the Save Goa Party. Don't give Gadgil a chance
sideways, or he'll start lecturing us about Marx's (not Groucho!)
views of thesis-antithesis-synthesis! FN
PS: Cecil are you really getting convinced that non-commercial models
of building sharable knowledge could throw up something positive? When
will the Santosh Helecars of the planet "convert" from their
copyright-above-all positions?
